If a dear person
Is injured
They are like a broken star
Supposing I just cover my eyes

I throw away everything
But in these hands
Is the sword that I polished with my tears
I will continue grasping it

Somewhere in this country
Today is a conflict
It offers you a glimpse
Of the shadow of sorrow
That is more vivid than a nightmare

Loving and hating
Which will be stronger?
Someday, people will carry both
In their hearts

But we are still
Unable to simply live in this small world

If an unfamiliar person
Begged me for help
My fingers would hold nothing
If I held them out

I get down on my knees
But these hands
Cannot just take it
Even if I am at a loss

But in a country somewhere
With different words
The same prayers
Are repeatedly recited
I understand them

Truth is both light and shadow
In what direction will it lurk?
Who are people, front and back
Facing each other while also passing by

Why are we still
Unable to just see that blue sky?

Loving and hating
Which will be deeper?
Someday, people will carry both
In their hearts

Why are we still
Unable to change this small world?

Hating and forgiving
Which will be superior?
Is this frail heart
Able to endure beneath this weight?

Although I am alone
I step forward towards this vast world
I want to go
I will go
